Today is my one year bandiversary! I am almost to goal (30 more pounds - which seems like nothing compared to my starting weight), I have never felt better in my life and I am finally happy! I only needed 3 fills to get to my sweet spot which I hit last July. I haven't been a regular poster BUT I have been a regular reader and I just wanted to thank everyone for taking the time for posting and replying because you have answered ALL of my questions even some my doctor wouldn't. And to those new bandsters who think they will never have restriction - just have patience - you will get there and then you will wish you could eat something without slimeing. To anyone just thinking about doing it - JUST DO IT! It will change your life forever!!!

Thank you bandsters!

Congratulations on your success!

My one year bandiversary is coming up at the end of March. I'm hoping to hit the 100lbs. lost mark by that point, but if not, I'm closer than I was a year ago.

Congrats again! Enjoy your "new" life!

Thanks for all your good wishes. My background is: my starting weight was 279, I am now at 182 and my goal is 150. I am 5'10. I started a walking club with a couple of girls that I met at my LB doctor's support group and we still walk every week. I walk about 20 miles a week but now I can even run! It really does help if you can find a walking buddy cuz we just start talking and before you know it 7 miles are done! My daily diet consists of a WL shake from costco (I like them the best), tuna salad for lunch or a lean cuisine (which usually goes cold before I can eat it) and maybe a taco for dinner. I might add another WL shake or a Protein Bar in or a banana. I have never been able to eat bread since the surgery only can eat tortilla which kind of sucks but you get used to it. The only draw back has been the hair loss but luckily I had plenty of it. I am still losing it and I take Biotin supplements. I must admit I have not been a regular Vitamin taker - I can never seem to remember which might have something to do with the Hair loss. Have to make a concerted effort to get my Water in because there doesn't seem to be enough hours in the day to do all the drinking and eating. It is a great feeling not to think about food all the time though. Good luck to all of you!

Happy New Year!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
